I'm studying true norwegian black metal lately... Immoratl was a great band, though not too "true"... Imean, they sound like they wanted to impress at times.... On the other hand, Gorgoroth is pure evil...Evil Smile

Morbid Angel, Carcass, Cannibal Corpse, At The Gates, Nile, Cynic,

early Sepultura, Napalm Death (this being grindcore, not really death,but
 
extreme stuff), Death, Avulsed (spanish band singing in english),
 
Deicide (just one albumConfusedEvil Smile), Six Feet Under, Obituary and a couple
 
of compilations.
 
For the black metal stuff, I only own a Cradle of Filth album ("Vempire")
 
and rarely play, though I really enjjoy hearing to it from time to time.
 
Knowing that some members are from Mexico and the south of US,
 
what about Brujería? Does it fit in these "extreme" categories?  
The water rushes over all
cities crash in the mighty wave;
the final man is very small,
plunging in for his final bathe

my alltime fav black and death stuff:

Conqueror / Revenge - THE most psykotic violent maniacal warblackgrind ever!!!!!  and supremely funny too........
 
Blasphemy - without them no Revenge/Conqueror and hilariously nonsensical 'Canadian war metal'!!
 
Darkthrone - lords of the tranced-out blackfuzz
 
Impiety - serious mindbogglingly brutal & violent blackdeath elite assault!!!
 
All the one-man jokers like Striborg (the maddest!!), Leviathan, Xasthur, Draugar etc etc etc etc...........say goodbye to production values and hello to endless ambient buzz............
 
Wolves In The Throne Room - can i say their stuff is just so BEAUTIFUL???  epic, sad, misty, u can smell the forest............
 
Liturgy - Dawn of Ash (think they only made ths one album, but man it is unbelieveably DEEP as in gutteral.........this must be wat some ppl call brutal death grind!)
 
Anaal Nathrakh - Total f**king Necro (this collection of demos is one of the most nutcase extreme black metal i've ever heard, pity their albums proper are a bit too 'well-produced'.....)
 
Grindcrusher (not a band but that seminal Earache comp from 1990 or 1989..........blew me away with all the classicks like Morbid Angel, Carcass, Spazztic Blur etc etc etc....)

I can't say i like much pure Death metal apart from the obvious ones like "Alters Of Madness" But i love the death /doom genre Katatonia, Daylight Dies, Swallow The Sun etc.
With black metal Ulver, Burzum, Mutiilation, Peste Noir and Gorgoroth are among my favorites.

Death metal and black metal are huge loves of mine. I became slightly bored of them which is what drove me to begin listening to progressive music, but I still thoroughly enjoy many black and death metal bands.

For death metal, I like Morbid Angel, Death, Guttural Secrete, Defeated Sanity, Prostitute Disfigurement, Immolation, Inveracity, Suffocation, Incantation, Sanguis Imperium, Kronos, late-period Behemoth, Arghoslent, Necrophagist, Spawn of Possession, and Deicide.

As for black metal, I love the better known stuff such as Emperor, Darkthrone, Mayhem, and Venom (who are really more thrash than black metal, despite the name of the album "Black Metal"), but also a lot of semi-kvlt stuff like Watain, Deathspell Omega, Ulver, Peste Noire, and Nachtmystium, and really hard to find stuff like Bestial Warlust, Dodsferd, M8L8TH, and Grand Belial's Key.

Lately though my favorite stuff has been blackened death metal, which combines the heavy riffing and down tuning of death metal with the rapid fire trem picking and raspy vocals of black metal. Good examples are Belphegor, Infernal War, Destroyer 666, and Satanica-era Behemoth.

"The key" and "Thresholds" are masterpieces of progressive death-metal. 
Here is a quote from wikipedia : Nocturnus was an American progressive death metal band formed in Tampa, Florida in 1987 by drummer/vocalist Mike Browning (formerly of Morbid Angel). They were known for their science-fiction themed lyrics and use of keyboards, both of which were virtually unknown in extreme metal.
 
 


Thanks for reminding me about them, I heard a song off their return album but wasn't too impressed.
 
But the two albums I quoted are worth listening.
BTW, I discovered this band after having purchased a tape of "the Key" (metalmind productions ;-) in Przemyśl during holidays spent in the now Województwo podkarpackie in Poland ;-)

I don't know, T. If I was a father I'd burn the crap albums. It's gonna be so surreal when I had my future kid a Death CD and he laughs at A)the "huge" size of the CD and B)at how tame he finds them.
 
Well, if my son arrives at home with a reggaeton or hip-hop cd I will have to burn it... for my own sanity...LOL 
 
I can imagine how my son (or daughter even more) would see the cover of Mayhen's De Miisterys Dom Sathanas and say to me: "dad, what the hell?!? I'll have to burn these cds, they may be a bad influence over you"...LOL

As much as I love pure BM such as Mayhem, Hecate Enthroned and early Emperor and the overy theatric symphonic BM of Cradle of Filth and Dimmu Borgir. My vote would go for Primordial - not a pure Black Metal band, but one that has constantly pushed the boundaries and included their own (Celtic) culture and influences into their music.
What?

Wow, he actually burned them? Good to know there are some parents out there actually still paying attention and taking an interest in their child's welfare and being a parent.Wink
 
Well... in a way. But really... Venom doesn't kill nobody. Relax anyway, wait till he can't touch your stuff no more and buy all the satanic sh*t you want. Or any sh*t, for that matter.
 
 
 
My dad did the same thing to my collection of Air Supply cds when I was a kid.

My favourite black metal band is Keep of Kalessin(though some people say they're not really BM, but rather extreme metal. I'm not sure myself). I also enjoy early Ulver. As to death metal, I guess the ones I listen to the most are Death, Atheist, Cynic, Lykathea Aflame, and if you classify them as death metal, Meshuggah.
